An Unusual and Exsiting scene In the
Produce Exchange-Ffred to Wrath
By a Newspaper Article Fathered by
President Wright OF the Chicago
Board OF Trade.
New YORK, Sept. 16.--The members
of the produce exchange hanged and
burned a imam in eftigy on the floor of their
exchange. They had read q special dis
patch in a New York paper that made
them mad. 1t quoted some saying of
President Wright OF the Chicago BIO ard

the New York produce exchange was
practically b bucket-shop and that 1t was
not al all likely that really pious western
| capitalists would discommode themselves
in any way for wicked fasteners who
gambled in wheat and other things. Mr..
Wright has been asked il his. board would
be willing to cooperate with the New
York body In securing continuous ses-
sions till the close of business. One firm
sent word to It's Chicago representative
to ask Mr. Wright II he had been cor

reply, had the entire special telegraphed

had been quoted. No answer came to
this; and this of itself added to the anger
of the boys in the wheat corner. At 2
o'clock sharp there was q crowd about
the wheat pit, when suddenly there Ap-

them. The tendency OF the prohibition
party, the leaders of the prohibition party
know full well that every measure tend
ing to promote prohibition or h re-
straint of the liquor traffic has been and
will be opposed by the democratic party,
a party whose success in Ohio for the
past four years has been given to it by
those who sell and by those who con-
sumo spirituous liquors. And yet our
prohibition friends aim all their shafts
at the republican party and act as allies
of the democratic party, and SO of the
labor party.
s'If there is any just and practical
measure of public policy that will tend
TO advance the interests of labor or Ia
b%oringnlen the republican party is now
and has been ready and willing to adopt
it. Every measure in their interest in
the statutes of Ohio and of he United
States has been put there by the republi-
can party. 1t is only when socialist seek
to strike down all the rules of social or
der which dignity the homes of poor and
rich alike, or when communists seek
to enjoy the property acquired by the
honest labor of others, or when anarchists
seek to tear down all the institution OF
modern civilization, that the republican
party as the conservative party OF the
| country, resists their demands. These
men are criminals and not laborers.
They dishonor the word laborer who only
seeks the free and full enjoyment OF the
fruits of his labor and will neither rob
| nor steal his neighbors' property.
ttAnd, so fellow citizens, / might re
view other parties, societies and organi-
| cations. There is no objection for any
number of rren to associate for any law
full purpose in any company or associa'
ton. The modern world is full of such
and their name is infinite. AS a rule they
are useful and only bad when their pur
pose is bad. But after all there eau only
be two great political parties in a free
country. though. AS in France n Eng
land, there may be. wings and shade:
Of opinion within q party, as there are
divisions and brigades within q bis
